valaipoo biryani – Banana Flower biryani – Valaipoo rice – One pot Meal – Lunch recipes – lunch box recipe – rice recipes

Other day when I visited one of my colleague’s house in Chennai she served valai poo (Arati poovu, Bhale Hoova) biryani. She told me that she has checked my blog to make sure that she cooked something new.. Before I tasted it I kind of not sure about the taste of valai poo in the biryani. But it tasted really good. Yeah you had slight “thuvarppu” in Valaipoo which gave it a nice taste. I loved it. She said she got this recipe from her Mother In Law. Her version didn’t include Toor dal. But when I made it I added it to enhance nutritional value. It is good way of including a vegetable otherwise seldom liked by kids
